The Logos is a real force in the universe. It created the universe and sustains it ; as the pagan philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus, who coined the word logos, 600 yrs before the gospel of John was penned in Ephesus, defined it.
Our minds aren't capable of understanding the universal extent of the Logos, all it does, and who it comes to. The wind blows where it will. Shame on us for being so arrogant to think we can pin down the Logos. Just who do we think we are?
Joh_10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

I actually lean towards this being a reference to aliens in other worlds and universes that God may have created.

That said for our world, I still believe Jesus who is the logos become flesh is the only way to salvation for this plane of existence. Before his incarnation it may have been a different story, but to much has been given much is also expected. Jesus came to die for us already, we either accept him as Lord and savior or we don't. I would never budge from this even if a gun were pointed to my head, or that of my daughter.
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
John 8:43
I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.
